So I was asked to make a cross that would measure about 7" x 5". This is the first try. It looks wrong, to thin around the center and not bottom section was not long enough

This is my second try and it is better but I don't think I like the 5 rings at the ends so I will go back to the 4 rings. This one measures 9" x 6 1/2" but it is made with a very thick thread that has a sparkle filgree in it so if I use size 10 thread it should work.

ok, this is the first one with rings added in the center, it looks much better but still was not long enough. It measures 7" x 5 1/2" so it was close
